I watched the video Larry , and I know just exactly how those farmers feel. Every year , some of my neighbors go out of the dairy business. Many just can’t make any money milking cows anymore, while other farms are not big enough to expand their operations and remain financially viable, while others that have expanded now have their backs to the wall, with no room to move. Lower milk prices, low cattle prices for bull calves and cull cows have hurt everyone. And farms that reliied on purebred sales have been hit ever harder. I keep my head down, and take few chances, and we hire no help. Our farm is still showing a profit each year, but as every year goes by, nearly all of my input cost continue to increase in cost, while milk price remains pretty much unchanged. We are always on the lookout for less expensive ways to make milk. I will not continue to milk cows, if the cost of production exceeds the price I get paid for the milk. If that happens, it will be time to quit. Bruce
